… use up leftover Halloween candy? My family always has ridiculous amounts of candy left over by the end of Halloween, and it generally just ends up sitting around for quite some time. I think these 10 Recipe Ideas for Halloween Candy from Real Simple are genius and a great way to use up that extra candy this weekend!

… make a canvas calendar? I was instantly smitten when I saw this canvas calendar over on design*sponge a while ago. Although it’s a semi-difficult DIY project, I think it would be perfect to begin now for the holiday season. It’s such a heartfelt, personal gift that would be a stunning decoration anywhere.

This week’s Take 2 Tuesday is actually coming to you on a Wednesday! Sorry about the delay! It also marks the last week featuring cards from our Think Pink Collection in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I love the pairing of this Think Pink Card from Ann Scott Design with this picture of an adorable puppy on a pink leash. How much cuter can they get?

I’m always looking for a stylish yet easy way to decorate and I think I’ve finally found it! These whimsical flowers from Urban Outfitters come in a set of 25 and are perfect for your own home or as a great housewarming gift!

As sad as I am that Halloween will be over this weekend, I’m thrilled that pumpkins will continue to be around through Thanksgiving. Not only am I a huge fan of decorating the house with baby pumpkins and gourds, I also love the flavor and can’t wait to try out some of these recipes after I’m done using them for decoration!

1. I have fallen head over heels in love with this wedding seen via 100 Layer Cake. The personalized French poster is one of my favorite details ever, the silhouettes of the guests are incredible, and every last detail is perfect. The best part about it? It’s not overdone at all and is personal in every single way. -Vanessa

2. I’ve been staring at this image since it showed up in my feed earlier today. As it’s fall, I’m in major pumpkin-craving mode, and I think this Pumpkin Gingersnap Ice Cream from Picky Palate might be the thing to satisfy the craving (at least for tonight)! Do you have any fabulous pumpkin recipes you’d be willing to share? -Vanessa

Today’s letter inspiration details a little bit of the creative process; something I’m absolutely fascinated by. As I can barely draw a stick figure, I appreciate anyone’s artistic abilities. This letter comes with some preliminary sketches of Wonder Woman as the creator, Harry G. Peter, shows off his new heroine. I think the discussion of her clothing and look is really interesting, and shows how we got the Wonder Woman we now recognize today! Just goes to show even the littlest sketches on some stationery can help to create something wonderful.

Our fantastic week of magazine features continues! We were featured in the newest edition of Dog Fancy (how stinking adorable is that dog on the cover??) for our Doggie Calling Cards as a great gift in their “Delights for Dog Lovers” section for the holidays. We couldn’t be happier, and hope you’ll check out both the calling cards (#7 on the page below) and the latest print of this fun magazine!

This haunted house candleholder from Sur La Table is the perfect type of Halloween decor in that it’s neutral, it isn’t to kitsch, and it adds that special touch of Halloween spirit! Halloween is getting so close; I can’t wait!
